Data as of 2026-09-08. LSE, United Kingdom. Sector: Real Estate / Real Estate Management & Development. Price 38p, market value 111 millionp.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 12.5×** (5-yr avg 1662.8×, 3-yr avg 1862.6×). Foxtons Group plc trades at 12.5× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 1662.8×: cheap by its own standards. The Real Estate median in the September 2026 study was 25.2×. Forward P/E is 8.1×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **Price / sales: 0.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.3×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 0.8×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **EV / EBITDA: 2.0×**. Enterprise value is 2.0× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 42.8%** (5-yr avg 0.1%). Free cash flow equals 42.8% of the market value, above its five-year average of 0.1%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 8.0%**. The inverse of the P/E: 8.0% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 70.4%**. Foxtons Group plc keeps 70.4% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, the kind of margin that comes with software, brands or pricing power.
- **Operating margin: 11.6%**. 11.6% of revenue is left after running the business.
- **Net margin: 7.4%**. 7.4% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 8.9%**. 8.9% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 15.1%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 15.1%: comfortably above what that capital costs.
- **Return on assets: 9.9%**. Each dollar of assets produces 9.9% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 5.2%** (3-yr 7.1%/yr, 5-yr 13.0%/yr). Revenue grew 5.2% over the last year, against 13.0% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -7.3%** (3-yr 14.5%/yr). Earnings per share fell 7.3%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 5.7%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 5.7% a year over three years, lagging earnings: check whether profits are turning into cash.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.43**. Debt is 0.43 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 0.7×**. It would take 0.7 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Interest coverage: 6.5×**. Operating profit covers interest 6.5× over, a safe margin.
- **Current ratio: 3.92** (quick 3.92). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 3.92 times.
- **Altman Z-score: 2.25**. A Z-score of 2.25 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.
- **Piotroski F-score: 6/9**. 6 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 3.06%** (0p per share, trailing). Foxtons Group plc yields 3.06%, a modest yield more typical of a growth-oriented payer.
- **Payout ratio: 28%** (13% of free cash flow). 28% of earnings goes out as dividends, leaving room to keep raising it.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 5**. 5 straight years of increases.
- **Shareholder yield: 8.0%**. Dividends plus net buybacks return 8.0% of the market value a year.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): -31.7%** (YTD -36.6%, 3-mo -15.4%). The shares are down 31.7% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -39.4%** (18.6% above the low). Trading 39% below its 52-week high, deep in a drawdown.
- **200-day average: below**. The price sits below its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of a downtrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 46**. An RSI of 46 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.10** (volatility 29%). Beta of 0.10 against the FTSE All-Share: the shares move much less than the market.
